I'm off work this week so I thought I'd rewatch a bit of classic Who and chose Daleks Invasion Of Earth.
Surely this must be one of the best opening episodes ever, with the ruined Earth, great location filming and terrific ending. And it know it may go against the grain, but I thought the few little bits of CGI Dalek spaceship were wonderful - totally in keeping with the look of the original.
I'd also forgotten how fantastic the ending with Susan leaving was done. In particular, the scene where the Doctor suddenly realises Susan was leaving and made an excuse to go back to check the TARDIS ( when he didn't really have to ) was brilliantly played by William Hartnell. Classic.
